Henry Boyd, 25, 301 Double Court, was driving a stolen Cadillac CTS in the Mechanicville area about 5 p.m., Lt. Dana Coleman said. The car had been reported missing to the Terrebonne Sheriff’s Office earlier that day, he said. When Boyd saw police, he accelerated along Memory Lane and drove through a stop sign at a high rate of speed, trying to flee.

Boyd then turned into a wooded area near Payne Street, hopped out of the car and started to run, Coleman said.

Several officers followed on foot and tried to catch up but lost sight of him, Coleman said. As police continued to search the area, they learned that he might be in a nearby home, he said.

Police said they checked several homes in the 200 block of Payne Street before discovering Boyd in a home.

“People were coming outside, asking, ‘Did y’all see him? Did y’all see him,’ And we got a tip that he was in a house,” Coleman said.

Boyd tried to run out of a back door to get away from police but was quickly arrested and taken to the Terrebonne Parish Jail.

He was charged with aggravated flight from an officer, no driver’s license and no seat belt, Coleman said. He also was charged with possession of stolen items over $500 because he was driving a vehicle that was reported stolen.

Boyd also had two outstanding warrants out for possession of heroin. He was booked on a $750,000 bond.
